A handful of politicians write in the
Macaca Post, insisting that the police power of Congress over the District gives it the power to unilaterally amend the Constitution:
We do not believe that the nation's Founders, fresh from fighting a war for representation, would have denied representation to the residents of the new capital they established.
Unfortunately, the actual Constitution (written by those pesky Founders) disagrees with them. Which is more credible?
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.
